About BCA

BCA is a member-owned organization comprised of 37 independent blood centers geographically dispersed throughout the North America, providing more than 46% of the U.S. blood supply. Along with their core business of providing a substantial portion of U.S. blood supply, BCA members provide a myriad of other services in cell therapies, blood management, therapeutic apheresis, tissue and cord blood banking, etc.

BCA assists cell therapy companies with securing reliable and compliant sources for the cells used in their therapeutic products and/or pre-clinical research. Where a client need exceeds the capacity of a single center, BCA can assist with putting in place a multi-center supply agreement around cell collections, processing, storage or other handling.
